Former Texas congressman Will Hurd, a onetime CIA officer and fierce critic of Donald Trump, announced that he's running for president, hoping to build momentum as a more moderate alternative to the Republican front-runner.
The ex-congressman has visited Iowa and New Hampshire in recent months. Trump's recent indictment on federal felony charges for mishandling classified documents could potentially open the way for critics like Hurd to gain traction in the primary.
"And the fact that Donald Trump willingly kept that material, and he wants to be leader of the free world, is unacceptable to me," Hurd told the CBS early morning show. "It spits in the face of the thousands of men and women who, every single day and every single night, put themselves in harm's way in order to keep us safe."
Hurd represented his state's then-most competitive district, which was more than 70% Hispanic and stretched from the outskirts of San Antonio to El Paso and encompassed more than 800 miles of the 1,200-mile Texas-Mexico border.
